TESTING THE FRINGES
No world has been left untouched by the Jihad. As the great states battle for survival against their fanatic enemies, the fringes have been left to their own devices, at risk for any number of plots by nearby opportunists and marauding brigands. While some interstellar companies have come to see these frontiers as a potential new customer base for defensive hardware, there... [click here for more]

Critical Errors
For as long as there have been wars, mankind has been on a quest for ever more efficient means to kill. Yet even as the technologies improve, there are always missteps, unexpected—and, sometimes, unexplained—flaws in engineering that can transform a promising new weapon into a setback costing billions of credits, years of progress, and perhaps even a few lives....

Corporate Review
Mercenaries aren’t the only ones who see the profits in war. As the Word of Blake crumbles before the might of rallying Houses, the latest surge in military demand could ebb along with it. But there is always another conflict around the corner, and the interstellar arms conglomerates—from Defiance Industries and StarCorps to Imstar Aerospace and Wakazashi Enterprises—are...

Davion Ingenuity
The Jihad has not been kind to the Federated Suns. The vaunted NAIS has been destroyed, and factories across the realm lie in ruins. But even without their bastion of high tech research, the research and development teams of House Davion have labored to push the envelope for military engineering. Drawing on the resources of the Federated Suns, they have devised powerful new... [click here for more]

Let the Games Continue!

Capellan Determination
Assaulted by the Federated Suns, then betrayed by the Word of Blake, and shunned by virtually all others, House Liao’s Capellan Confederation stood against the Jihad alone. The Celestial Throne has been pummeled, and entire worlds lie in ruins. But the spirit of the people has never been stronger, and all across the defiant realm, research and development teams...

Marik Resourcefulness
Shattered the Jihad and left in ruins, House Marik’s Free Worlds League has crumbled in the face of betrayal and deceit. Parliament is scattered, and alliances spanning generations have been broken. But even in death the dream of the Free Worlds lingers, and the economic and industrial might that once stood poised to usurp the powerhouse of House Steiner’s... [click here for more]

Peripheral Developments
For many of the major realms in the Periphery, the Jihad was just as devastating as it was to the Great Houses and Clans of the Inner Sphere. But as the tide began to turn against the Word of Blake, the fanatics withdrew from most of these fringe worlds first, leaving behind technology and techniques that further fanned the flames of technological recovery. Scrambling... [click here for more]

The Engineers' Playground Thieves, rogues, outlaws, murderers, scum-these are the pirates of the Inner Sphere. For mankind's worst element, the chaos of the Jihad is simply another opportunity to profit through force. The tools of the militaries they face are tough, but it doesn't take an unlimited budget and the resources of a stellar empire to get creative-and stolen prototype weapons can kill just...

Desperate Measures, Cut-Rate Prices
The fires of the Jihad have crippled the collective military-industrial complexes of the Inner Sphere, sparking a desperate call for equipment—any equipment—to replace combat losses.

THE FRONTIERS OF KNOWN SPACE
The peoples of the Inner Sphere often consider themselves the epitome of technology and culture and relegate the denizens of the frontiers of known space to second-class citizenry, or worse.
